A HAIRY SITUATION: Yes, that was Wes Welker, former Patriot player-turned-assistant coach of the Houston Texans, Patriots vets Rob Ninkovich and Sebastian Vollmer, and ex-CelticBrian Scalabrine who hopped behind the bar at Del Frisco’s earlier this week. The athletic alums were in town to serve up drinks in the Seaport, as part of the Leonard Hair Transplant Associates’ annual celebrity bartending event, which benefited the Young Fight Strong program at Lifespan Cancer Institute in Providence.

BEACHED BRADY: Tom Brady is taking what is likely his last exotic trip with the fam before training begins and the five-time Super Bowl champ is catching flak for his beach bod, or lack thereof. TB12 — who’s in Costa Rica with wife Gisele Bundchen, their two children, Benjamin and Vivian, as well as son Jack, whom he shares with his ex, Bridget Moynahan — was recently photographed showing serious PDA with his supermodel spouse. Both of them were shot sporting swimsuits, which prompted TMZ to throw some shade his way as it pointed out that Brady isn’t exactly the picture of shredded athleticism. We’re a bit confused as to why the GOAT would ever be the target of body shaming — not to mention, just about anyone would look like a sack of potatoes next to a bikini-clad Gisele. Now might be a good time to remind the world that his muscles are made for glory, not glamour.

WHY SO SERIOUS: If you ask director Gus Van Sant, the late Robin Williams wasn’t always the class clown. While filming “Good Will Hunting,” Van Sant says that the comedian was surprisingly stoic on set. “I think when I met him, during that period he was very serious,” Van Sant recently told The Daily Beast. “Even when I cracked a little joke, it wasn’t really recognized and he didn’t follow it up with a joke. He didn’t say anything which was funny. And I assumed that was because he was being serious, like a serious actor.” He added, “For him, comedy was almost like a whole obsessional world in itself, so it was either full-on make the person die laughing, or just have no comment there.” That said, Van Sant did share that Williams, who won an Academy Award for his part in the movie, was always trying to crack up co-star Matt Damon. When it came to Damon, who wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay alongside fellow Cambridge native Ben Affleck, Williams was apparently keen on making him laugh in between takes.
